THE METHODIST ALLIANCE.
Adoption of Plan of Organization and Ar
rangements Made to Perfect the Alliance.

About fifty persons, pastors and lay members
of the various Methodist Episcopal churches of
this city, met last evening at Roberts Park
Church for the purpose of adopting constitution
and bylaws for association under the name
Of the Methodist Episcopal Alliance of the City
of indianapolis. Judge r. n. Lamb was chosen
chairman and Rev. J. W. Duncan secretary E.
W. Halford, of the committee plan of organ
ization. presented a constitution and bylaws
which, after discussion and amendment
was adopted. The objects sought to be accom-
plished are ~ to promote harmony, concert of
action and fraternity among the churches of the
Methodist Episcopal denomination in the
city; ~ to foster and develop greater
zeal for the spread of their doctrines
and institutions as a divine agency for the saliva
ton of men: 81 to extend the area and efficiency
of existing churches, and to plant churches and
Sunday schools wherever it appears clearly evil
dent that strong and permanent organization
can be built up; az to employ city missionary
who shall possess such functions preroeatves
and relations to the churches as this alliance may
determine
The work of the alliance is to be confined to
Indianapolis and its suburbs, including Irving
ton, Woodruff Place Haughville and West H.
dianapolis. This will make about twenty
churches represented in the alliance which will
be composed of the presiding elders of the sew
eral conference districts here, the preachers in
charge, the superintendent of each Sunday school
connected with such charges and two laymen
from each charge.
The constitution and bylaws were recommit-
ted, with instructions that they be referred to
the official boards of the several charges for ap-
proval and ratification; that when ratified by any
board. such board shall at once elect the two lay
delegates, and when notice of election of such
delegates has been received from ten charges,
provided that be before the first Tuesday in
September, the chairman of the committee shall
call the alliance together for permanent organ
ization, and the officers then elected will hold
their Offices until the annual meeting, which
shall be on the the third Tuesday in April, and
the meeting shall be regarded the first regu-
lar annual meeting of the alliance. the semi
annual meeting following is to be held on the
third Tuesday in October.
The question of taking steps to secure all of
Marion county in one conference and the press
ing needs OF the church at Haughville, were
commended as subjects to be presented to the
ministers meeting on Monday next. and the
laity interested were invited to be present at the
Meeting.

The National Drill.

PhiIadeIph1a Press
The ridiculous competitive drill at Washington
is proving TO be the dismal failure which all
we'll -yishers in our national militia must have
hoped There is nothing in common between
these petty and trivial competitions over the
minor and formal details of drill and the true
school of the soldier the training of the officer
to make out of both efficient military organ
ization. With excellent Judgment, our own
National Guard forbidden to take part in
this boys play The strongest military organ
izations in the country are conspicuously absent.
In ALL barely .. 900 men turned out in the parade
Yesterday The bodies gathered represent pretty
closely what national guard should not be- and
the public has let the show alone, and it will be
a happy and fortunate outcome If the losses are
heavy enough to discourage any repetition of
this sort of a national drill in the future.
